Our programs

Four ways we show up for our neighbors.

Feeding families with free groceries and frozen food, gathering neighbors, strengthening small congregations, and opening doors to learning. Each program grew out of a need our community named out loud.

Three of the four run their own website — tap a card to visit it. Every program is also one tap away from the menu, under Programs.

Who we are

Neighbors first. Everything else follows.

Asians to the World Inc began with a simple conviction: nobody in our city should have to choose between paying for food and paying for anything else.

We work in Orlando, block by block. Volunteers pack the boxes, neighbors organize their own meetings, small congregations get help finding their footing, and adults and kids find someone willing to sit down and teach.

We do not ask people to prove they are needy before we help them. We ask what they need, and then we try to meet it.

Give

Groceries in handby the end of the week.

Every gift goes straight into groceries, supplies, and the volunteer work it takes to get them into a family's hands. Give once, or set it to repeat each month — the families we serve come back every month too.

Gifts are processed securely. Prefer to give by phone? Call (818) 555-0101.

Get involved

Come stand at the table with us.

Our volunteers are students, retirees, grandparents, and neighbors who had a free Saturday morning. There is a job for whatever time you have.

  • Pack and hand out groceries

    Sort produce, build boxes of free groceries and frozen food, and greet families at the distribution table.

  • Host a food drive

    Gather shelf-stable goods at your church, workplace, or block and we will pick them up.

  • Tutor or teach a class

    Help a child with homework or an adult with English, literacy, or job readiness.

  • Help behind the scenes

    Driving, translating, calling, organizing, setting up chairs. All of it matters.
